I find it strange that I really enjoy this music. It is generally something I wouldn't listen to. I am 34 and my musical tastes over the years have leaned more towards industrial/alternative music. My mainstays were always NIN, Ministry, Revolting Cocks (the old stuff), Thrill Kill Kult, Tool, even Marilyn Manson at one time (uhh yeah). It was when I drove from Orlando to Duluth,Georgia in the summer of 2008 to see NIN that I was exposed to Bradford Cox with Deerhunter when they opened. I was very impressed by their "sound" for lack of a better word. I quickly purchased their cd's and the Atlas Sound releases. I was hooked. I then saw Deerhunter in Orlando earlier this year. The average age of the other people there were at least 10 years younger than me but I didnt care. This album is just a really great piece to just lay down on the couch and just relax (as another reviewer previously mentioned)and listen. I wont go into detail with the tracks. Every track has something to offer. I guess as I am getting older my tastes have changed. I am glad they have. I guess this genre is called shoegaze? I dont know. I call it good. I have discovered other bands in this genre I like as well such as Animal Collective, Panda Bear. If anyone else out there can mention any other bands in this field please tell me! I would appreciate it."

"Atlas Sound has released another record on the other side of stream of consciousness. While his previous effort was a lucid dream splayed out on a frozen lake - this piece runs the gammit of 50's doo-wop run through a crystalized teen dream. Love it."
